Incorrect Login Error After Entering Correct Info

I haven't been able to login for a few days now. I know that I'm using the correct username and password. I even tried changing my password and it still won't let me login. I thought that maybe my account had been deleted so I clicked the 'Sign Up' button. It just said that there is already an account with that username, i.e. it confirmed that my account has not been deleted. I also tried multiple browsers and disabled extensions. No luck. Please help.

I was experiencing the same issue with the desktop app on Windows 10.

login failed with correct credentials that were "copied" into the Pandora app. I checked for extra spaces but there were none.

When I manually typed them in, login worked as expected.

Not sure if the rest of you copy/paste your credentials but you may want to try manual entry.

For web-browser clients, definitely try clearing your browser cache first as that's worked for a number of people to resolve the invalid password issue.

I've been encountering this same problem, starting in 2020. I get a "wrong password" response after typing or pasting in my known good credentials. Happens in Safari, only fixed by clearing all my browser history, which clears all cache and resets cookies.

I listen to Pandora more-or-less daily and this problem recurs every 2-3 weeks. I've seen the same symptoms when logging into my account on 3 different Macs, running 10.12, 10.13 High Sierra, and 10.15 Catalina.

Since last week, I'm having a similar problem on Windows.  I can sign in via any browsers, but if I use the Pandora app I get "Incorrect Email or Password".  I'm copy/pasting from notepad so I know the login is correct.

Hey, @PMMi11er. 👋

I moved your post over to this existing Desktop thread: Incorrect Login Error After Entering Correct Info

Based on your message, it sounds like you're unable to sign in on the Pandora Desktop App for Windows but you can access your account using a browser.

I do see that you contacted our team via email recently. They have responded to your message to gather more information. If you don't see their reply yet, please check your spam / junk folder to make sure it didn't end up there. 📬

I called Apple support and they had me delete the Pandora App on my iPhone,
and then re-install it and that fixed the issue!

I am having the same issue for over a week now. Cannot login on an account I've used for more than 10 years. Have tried changing password, even then it tells me it is incorrect. Cannot seem to create a new account either.

Well, at least I'm not alone...it seems this problem has been going on a for long time. Same problem: log in via web browser is fine, but today I was prompted to log in to the desktop app (after an update to Big Sur), and my correct log in information no longer works on the desktop app. Like others, I reset my password, but that didn't work.

Every time I try to sign in, I get a message that says it's the wrong account/password. Do you know how to fix this?
